Malone to retire in Utah as NBA's No. 2 all-time scorer

SALT LAKE CITY -- Karl Malone is retiring, ending a career in which he became one of the NBA's greatest power forwards and was No. 2 on the league's all-time scoring list.

Malone, who teamed with guard John Stockton for 18 seasons with Utah to form one of the NBA's greatest duos, will announce his retirement Sunday at the Delta Center, the Jazz said Friday.
The 41-year-old Malone underwent knee surgery last summer and has not played since last season with the Los Angeles Lakers. He joined the Lakers at a greatly reduced salary before last season in an attempt to win an elusive NBA championship by playing with Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. Detroit beat Los Angeles in the NBA Finals in five games.
The Jazz had no comment Friday on the decision by Malone, whose agent said last week it was possible Malone might return to action with San Antonio.
The Lakers were not surprised.
"We've had one year with him and everyone in the organization, from the front office staff, fellow players, coaches, everyone really enjoyed having Karl around for that year," Lakers spokesman John Black said. "He was a real addition to our team last year in helping us get to the NBA playoffs."
Malone finishes his career 1,459 points behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the NBA's career scoring list.
Last season, he missed 39 games after injuring his right knee, and was hurt again during the playoffs, missing the last three games of the NBA Finals.
Malone opted out of his $1.65 million contract following last season, making him a free agent. He and his family live in nearby Newport Beach, Calif. They also have a home in Salt Lake City.
His agent, Dwight Manley, said in October that his client wasn't ready to play, but if he returned, it would only be with the Lakers.
That changed late last year after Malone was accused by Kobe Bryant of making a pass at Bryant's wife. Malone, through Manley, denied the accusation and apologized to Bryant and his wife for any remarks she might have considered inappropriate.

Too bad. Hope the Spurs are still lookilng for front court help.

Good... Now, lets talk about that blow out last night?
I don't buy it. This is just another Drama Queen moment. He saw the other news reported so now his camp leaked it to AP to create this article. In the next few days he'll have a change of heart and we should hear something a couple days before the All-Star game that he's coming to SA.
Don't be fooled. This is part of the act.

NEW: Malone to retire from NBA

Karl Malone will announce his retirement at a news conference Sunday in Salt Lake City, an NBA spokesman said today.
Malone had been debating whether to sign with the Spurs for the remainder of the season.
Tim Frank, the NBA’s vice president of basketball communications, said Malone will make his retirement official on Sunday.
Malone met with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and Tim Duncan on Saturday in San Antonio. He said he enjoyed the visit, but still needed to gauge whether he was emotionally and physically ready to resume his career.
Popovich was unavailable for comment this morning.
The Jazz also announced the news conference will be at 3 p.m. at the Delta Center.
Yeah right, Pop will not put up with that bull t. The team is gonna need the 2nd half to get over that freakin fiasco. Shocking, but Kobe was right. What a distraction.
